A Political Entity is different from an Economic Entity.

A Political Entity is different from an Economic Entity. Both are very Important, and each has a different 'Nature' and a 'different Purpose'. A political Entity is what is commonly referred to as 'the State'; 'the Nation'; or 'a Country'. All these 'loose terms' refer to a 'Political Entity'. Each refers to a 'collection of Individuals' who are under the 'Power' of a 'Governing Entity'. Of course, there are many types of Governments but, notice how many 'Autocratic Forms' call themselves 'Democratic'. Why? Because that 'usage' creates the 'impression' and 'suggests' that its a 'Government of the People'. But, only a Real Democratic Form of Government is a Government "Of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". The Economy of most Governments is Corporate in Nature. An Economy provides for the 'Economic Welfare' of the 'People' as well as the 'State'. But, a Democratic Form of Government must provide for the 'General Welfare', i.e. the 'Welfare' 'of the People'. That is the 'Purpose' of the economy in a Democratic Form of Government. The Economy in a Democracy should serve the 'General Welfare'. Of course, a Corporate Economy is driven by 'profits and Monies', while a Democratic Form of Government is 'driven' by Freedom and Equality. The 'motors' of the different Entities are different. An Economy 'cannot Govern' and a Government 'cannot create 'profits and Monies'. Each must assume its proper Posture and neither should assume the tasks of the Other. But, they must work together. The basic reason for that is that only a Government has 'Political Power.' An Economy, whatever form it assumes, has great influence but, it can never have Power. Does Ford Motors have Power over you; does Wall-Mart have power over you? Of course, not. Their sole interest is to market their Products. Stated differently; the 'Economy' needs to stay out of politics and 'Government' needs qualified 'Political Thinkers' at the helm. We do not need CEO'S driving the Ship of State; nor do we need Politically-Correct Politicians driving the Ship of State. Where are the 'Real Politicians'?
